A2A Spitfire Update 7th Jan 2011!

i love it

it was the case back in fs9 you were a WOP(A2A) spitfire fan or a realair fan, funny enough i was both but i loved the texturing more so on the A2A bird,

I think with this package there will be a lot of new converts,

i hope they continue this with the zero, another fine bit of kit from the older WOP fighter pack

i might be having a brain fart but did the accusim 51 come out or is it still in development?

The 51 is still in development. As I understand it, the Spit is the development platform for the Merlin that will then move over into the Mustang.

Three-point/tail-low, is just as well too. Main-wheel landings are good when you need the most visbility is front of you, though you will be landing faster than needed. With proper speeds you will be landing tail low, which will use up less runway, and you will have generally more control with the tail firmly planted on the ground, rather than having it possibly 'weathervaning' up in the air. Three-point landings are one of those signs of truly 'knowing' the aircraft.

Yeah that is interesting, I have found the Spitfires to be easier to land than the other warbirds for some reason. I lean my head'view' to the side and crab a little then straighten out just before touchdown and manage to usually get tail low landings even on narrow GA strips. The Spitfire has a narrow fusealage too so you see more when you lean to the side. The P-47 is a bit wider so you have a wider blind spot which makes narrow runways much more tricky.:jump:
 
Man, I am SO looking forward to this coming out...

I have always been a fan of the Spitfire, and an Accusim one is simply the dream come true...

To be Honest,I really wasn't a HUGE fan of The Spit[I really love Naval Aviation] but these new pics/videos really got me pumped up!!:jump: With the realism of Accu-sim and The Iconic RR Merlin V-12 I'm quickly changing my tune!!!
 
Bought it, flown it, crashed it!
If you land too hard the undercarriage will collapse and prop shatter :isadizzy::redf:
